Kurt complains to the Austrian newspaper: The elections were imposed on us, we didn't want them.

Kosovo's incumbent Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has declared that parliamentary elections held in the country were not his government's wish, but that they were imposed.


In an interview for the Austrian newspaper Die Presse, Kurti said that despite losses compared to past elections, the Vetevendosje Movement has again emerged as the biggest political force in the country.

This is our fifth victory in the last seven years. Now we have 43 percent, but that still does not include diaspora votes”, he said.


Kurti announced that they are awaiting final election results and will then hold talks with other political parties. He added that even in his past mandate his government had included representatives of all ethnic groups and voiced conviction that such an approach would continue in the future.

Die Presse: Only parliamentary elections were held in Kosovo. Your party, Vetevendosje, has again become the strongest force, but suffered losses compared to previous elections. So was it a good idea to hold a choice?

Albin Kurti: Our choices were imposed. We didn't want them. But we're back on top. This is our fifth victory in the last seven years. Now we have 43 per cent, but that still does not include diaspora votes. We are waiting for final results and then entering talks with other parties. Last time, our government also included representatives from all ethnic groups. And I'm sure this will remain so.
